Get out the cake and the candles, as we celebrate composer, author, and teacher David Schiff's birthday! His life started 60 years ago this week, in New York City, but since 1980 he's lived in Portland and taught music at Reed College. In this program we explore his early influences (and hear some of them, from classical to jazz to broadway), find out how he ended up in Portland, and hear what he really wants for his birthday. We'll also hear a sampling of his diverse output as a composer, with performances by the Baltimore Symphony, the Detroit Symphony - with jazz violinist Regina Carter - and Chamber Music Northwest, with which he's had a long and fruitful association. We'll also give you a preview of a yet-to-be-released recording, by the Third Angle New Music Ensemble, of Schiff's opera, Gimpel the Fool. |

Cheers from Steve in Tucson:
I discovered the station while on sabbatical leave in Portland, fall 2003. I enjoyed thoroughly your musical variety and expert commentaries. I now listen online in my office at The University of Arizona, Tucson.
The music brings to the desert those fresh, fall Portland breezes. Thank you.

Another Push Pin on the World Map |
| [August 26] |
|
From Robert in Atlanta:
I live 12 miles east of downtown Atlanta, GA, and found your station by doing a search on "classical music stations." I love your station because it plays music more hours of the 24 than any of the Atlanta stations. You don't seem to feel that it is as important to keep your listeners well-rounded by playing other genres of music and informed by hours of news. Thank you by recognizing that I can take care of those activities to the extent I choose.

From James in SW Portland:
Keep the organ and choral music coming. One thing I've always liked about your station is you play ALL kinds of music.

If Your Radio Reception Doesn't Improve |
| [June 8] |
|
We share your pain. If you are one of a small number (approximately 5%) of listeners whose signal has not improved with the new installation of our more powerful antenna, the following reception tips may be helpful to you.
To improve your reception in home and office, start with these ideas:
1. Most radios use the power cord as an antenna. While listening, move the cord or the radio a few feet back or forth to find a clearer spot.
2. If your radio uses the typical chrome adjustable-length whip antenna, try making the whip as short as it will go. Many times this solves the overload problem.
3. Unless you are at least 30 miles from downtown Portland, avoid the use of an ‘amplified’ antenna of any kind. Such antennas only aggravate reception problems. If your antenna uses batteries or has a power cord that plugs in the wall, it is an amplified antenna. Disconnect it and try one of the solutions described in this article.
I would be happy to assist you in resolving your particular reception problem. Please phone me at 503-916-5828 ext. 407, or 1-888-306-5277, or email: larry@allclassical.org
